🙂 WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT! 🙂

Young Max and dad Ross popped into the store for advice and some bits before heading to Spires Lakes for a couple of hours float fishing!!

Silvers and smaller species were the order of the day until Max hooked into this lovely little common! As you can see, the smile says it all, he was buzzing!!!

Well done buddy and, as dad says, it's probably time for a bigger net now that you're catching bigger fish!!

💷 CASH OR CARD? 💷

We have had some concerned customers asking if we are moving over to card only payments, like so many other businesses in the area appear to be doing

The simple answer is NO! Rest assured, we will continue to take cash as long as it exists and as long as we are able to!

We thank you once again for your continued support

👌 THE DOGS......!! 👌

Adam Atkins paid a visit to Bulldog Fisheries in Snapper and, despite only getting his second choice of swim, he had a banging session!!

An unprecedented 14 fish were landed including the lake's biggest resident in the shape of, arguably, one of the county's nicest linears at 37Ib!! Well in buddy, great stuff and cheers for the pics!!

🪱 KING RAGWORM 🪱

Don’t panic we still have a regular supply of king Ragworm currently. It can be a nightmare trying to get live bait with this current heat we are seeing but we have managed to source some which will be arriving today!

Only a limited amount so be sure to get in quick to secure yours for the weekend.

We are open til 6pm tonight (Thursday).

Also lots of new bits in store including the New range of Raglou colours and sizes which are currently smashing out bass.
